Playing on Brethren High’s field, Onekama High’s girls softball team split a Western Michigan D League doubleheader with Walkerville on Thursday. The Portagers lost the first game, 16-1, but came back to win the second game, 11-3.

Onekama got only four hits in the opener. Ginny Ashworth led the way, going 2-for-2. Kayla Pesko had a double, and Stephanie Ashworth had a base hit.

Game two was a completely different story, as the Portagers rapped out 10 hits — including a triple, and two doubles.

Bonnie Harthun was 2-for-4 with a double and a triple. Stacey Keith finished 3-for-3 with five runs batted in. Stephanie Ashworth was 1-for-3. Tara Lyman was 1-for-3 with a run batted in, winning pitcher Stevie Gillespie had a double and a run batted in, Chelsea Miller had one hit and a run batted in and Pesko had a base hit.

Onekama improved to 7-5 overall, and 5-3 in the conference. The Portagers are at Brethren again on Thursday, May 4, for a league doubleheader against Mason County Eastern.
